Just trying to keep score at home.

First thing that crossed my mind as well. I don't know what this means with respect to Comey's testimony. He gave himself cover by refusing to get into any investigations, other than Russian involvement, although he DID say there was no evidence of Trump being wiretapped.

Well, I guess if you don't look you ain't gonna find much of anything.

Dirtbags are all lawyers. They are VERY specifuc with their words. They will say all day that Trump wasn't "wiretapped," while KNOWING there was other surveillance going on. And the lapdogs in the media will continue with the 'narrative' that Trump "wasn't wiretapped."

It's the meaning of 'is'.

The FBI is not cooperating with the House of Representatives' investigation into the NSA's surveillance of the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, the chairman of the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), said today.

Yes. They hold you to exact specifics and definitions when it suits them. Other times they prefer umbrella arguments and expect that you should have known all terms are interchangeable.

Fact is...while wiretapping is an outdated term it does still mean the listening in and possible recording of information without the party of interest knowing. We now call that activity surveillance.

Originally posted by mbinky:Dosen't the FBI work for the DOJ? Can't Sessions tell Comey to cooperate or just give Congress the info they want himself?

Comey works at the pleasure of Trump. His fate lies with Trump. John Bolton said awhile back that Comey should have been out the door on Jan. 20th and he can't understand why Trump kept him around. Bolton knows his way around the beltway as good or better than most and he knows who the rodents are. To me Bolton is the closest thing we have to Netanyahu. A pure loyalist/patriot.

Then there is this thing with Sessions DOJ objecting to Judicial Watch's legal request to continue to pursue the Hillary Clinton email scandal.

Originally posted by 12GA:President Trump is no fool. I believe he must have motives for keeping Ryan and Comey on as long as he has.

Trump has no say whatsoever in whether or not Ryan keeps his job.

Comey? Yes.

^^^^precisely!

Though some form of creative, imagineering response would have been pre-planned, you know just in case.

Ask a specific question and get a dodgey answer ..

I watch him in front of congress,he said he could not tell them in open session but could answer behind closed doors.That to me meant he knew he was lying but would say what he knew to a select few.That S O B need to be fired.
